How Intercom connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.
